A quilted cotton waistcoat tells the story of the artisanal gesture. Dense stitching holds the lightweight padding in place, the hand-printed fabric retains the irregularity of the wooden block. In this collection you will find different interpretations of the same textile knowledge.
The Dhosa quilted waistcoat in printed cotton plays on warm tones and fine geometries, while the Yan reversible cotton waistcoat offers a bolder chromatic contrast between front and back. The Raja quilted cotton waistcoat stands out for its Mughal-inspired pattern, the Chettinar quilted cotton waistcoat for its geometric weave recalling Tamil Nadu textiles. All are reversible: every waistcoat offers different patterns on each side.
Every quilted cotton waistcoat is created using the block print technique, where the artisan imprints the motif directly onto the natural fibre. The result is a garment with character, unlike any industrial print. The hand-stitching secures the layers without adding weight, ensuring a quilted waistcoat that moulds softly to the body.
A quilted waistcoat can be worn over a Bibi shirt in printed cotton for a layered look, or paired with an Indian cotton bag from the same colour family. Those seeking a quilted waistcoat with a more structured cut can explore the Fabindia Roma Waistcoat collection, with colour variants.
From the artisan workshop in Rajasthan to the everyday wardrobe, every quilted cotton waistcoat from Fabindia Roma carries the mark of the hand that created it. Natural cotton, artisanal stitching, block print: the elements that define a garment built to last.
